I have a mystery part sitting on the camshaft cover at the rear of each of my two Detroit 6-71's on my boat -- a 42 ft (1976) Uniflite Sportsfisher which was bought in rather poor condition.
I've attached a photo of one of these mystery parts.
Can anyone tell me more about what this part is?
What does it do, and do I even need it at all?
If, perhaps, it plays an important function, then what do I need to do to service it and bring it back to it's useful life?
I suspect that it may have something to do with a tachometer which is missing on the flybridge.
Thanks for any useful input.
Jim
